Control valve management for oil, gas and process plants in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain. We survey your valves, rank them by risk, and plan spares, repairs and replacements before an obsolete valve stops the plant.
A typical plant has thousands of valves from many makers, installed over decades. Some makers have closed or stopped supporting older models, spare parts get harder to find, and records drift away from what is really installed. The first sign of trouble is often an unplanned shutdown waiting for a part.
Control valves and pressure relief valves need the most attention. Control valves wear in their trim and packing and drift out of calibration. Relief valves must be tested and recertified on a schedule set by your inspection plan. We include both in the survey and the plan.
Where a valve can no longer be supported, Young & Cunningham can supply a replacement gate, globe, ball, butterfly, check or relief valve to the same connections and length, with automation if needed. This keeps pipework and supports unchanged and shortens the shutdown.
It is a planned way of looking after a plant's valves over their life: knowing what is installed, how critical each valve is, what condition it is in, and when it should be repaired, upgraded or replaced.
We identify valves whose maker, model or parts are no longer supported, and propose a replacement with the same face-to-face dimensions and connections where possible, so that pipework does not need to change.
No. A valve survey covers every make on the plant. Replacements and spares are supplied through Young & Cunningham or matched to the original equipment.

A spreadsheet of tags, or photos of nameplates, is enough to start.
